Capture the Colour of Western Australia

This year for
Capture the Colour I have decided to celebrate Western Australia, which is
where I live at the moment. Some may see this as a limitation but I choose to
see it as a challenge. Not that it makes things especially difficult; Western
Australia is an extraordinary state, home to vastly contrasting landscapes,
magical experiences and definitely plenty of colour.

Blue

Esperance lies at
the east end of the southern coast of WA. The Esperance coastline is
magnificent and just about every imaginable shade of blue. This photograph is
the view over West Beach in spring.

Red

I love red earth
and WA has plenty. It is especially noticeable once you get to the Kimberleys
in northern WA. This photograph was taken in Broome. I love the stark contrast
of the bright red rocks and the turquoise blue sea.

Green

Rottnest Island
is home to one of the last thriving populations of quokkas. This photograph
poses a bit of a mystery as with nothing green in sight I’m at a loss as to
where this little quokka found the juicy green leaf he is clutching!

Yellow

This golden
sunset was captured one evening on Broome’s infamous Cable Beach. I love the
variety of colours that infiltrate the image, all from one sunset.

White

The sand on the
beaches in Cape Le Grand National Park, near Esperance, has been labeled the
whitest in Australia. It is so white and clean that it is squeaky when you step
on it. A local gang of kangaroos lives in the area and they are usually found
rummaging through seaweed, as they do here.
